the uncertainty about the precise date ot
President Loubet's trip to 8U Petersburg.
According to an interview, In a Paris Jour
nal" 'lth a member of the czar's personal
suite, M. Loubet's Journey had been fixed
for the month of June, when matters were
complicated by an intimation from the Ger
man emperor that he, too, was about to
visit the ccar, in return for the latter's
excursion to Danzig and to see the great
military maneuvers. As soon as the French
government heard ot the emperor's Inten
tion thus to' precede M. Loubet, and to be
present at the maneuvers, they pointed out
to the czar that the attendance of M. Lou
bet at a subsequent simple pared, would
make the world smile. This was undenia
ble, and the situation wss awkward until
the German emperor consented to delay his
visit till after that of the president of, the
French republic. It appears, however, that
William II has now" expressed his desire
to witness the- Russian spring maneuvers,
which are te take place in Poland In the
neighborhood of Warsaw. He has pointed
out that his presence there would consti
tute a salutary warning to his own Polish
subjects, as it would demonstrate the mil
itary solidarity of Russia and Germany ln
connection with the Polish question.. 80 It
